 :smitten: that white chaser! ...btw u crown looks nice ::) is that an automatic folding mirrors?

i actually like the pics of the cars on the street, rather than those at a show... guess they feel more "real".

[img]http://www.neo240sx.ca/johnnyz/J-pics/resized10.jpg[/img]

i was wondering how you would get out of this car... then i remembered where the steering wheel is, lol.

thanks for the pics.

Most cars in Japan, unless you drive a cheap company fleet car...will have electric folding mirrors. Its a necessity because there are streets (and parking spots) where you literaly have millimetres of leeway to park!

Who makes the kit for the M5 pictured above? looks nice. Love the Crown btw

And I say they are NOT!!............ when i start seeing these cars in VIP car clubs - meets / events then I CAN say its VIP. Until then its NOT.  Yeah Yeah so they fix it up VIPstyle here and there just like they do any other car. The big companies also sell parts for the 300C making money but until I start seeing these at events and the VIP crowd DROOLING and everyone wants one too ITS NOT!!

Just like the sentia........... at 1st it was NOT now you see alot of them at VIP events for the last couple of yrs.

IF you have a Fusa on your car its VIP............. LOL :knuppel2:

In Japan, do you see alot of fixed up cars driving around or are they mostly taken out for special occasions?
